Getting a handle on Cuba

 MAY 9, 2015 | REPORTING FROM HAVANA
 BY BRIAN VAN DER BRUG

 I knew Cuba had a collection of cars that predated the revolution, but the variety was amazing.

 The door handles of these midcentury marvels caught my eye because each seemed to be an indicator of the condition of the rest of the car.

 I realized I could share a bit of the soul of these cars just by photographing the handles, a sort of a metaphor for the opening of the doors to Cuba.

(there is a great door handle collage after the link, about 3 dozen of them, go check it out, it's cool!)
